After many years, I am rereading the book "The Soul of a New Machine" by John Kidder. It is a very exciting description of the development of a new computer.

Ben Wertmuller's keynote speech at FediForm referred to the Fediverse, but I think it is also relevant to Nostr.

Why the open social web matters now

The needs are real – and you have so much power.

#OpenSocialWeb #SocialMedia #SocialNetworking #Nostr

Once the purchase of TikTok in the USA has been successfully completed, Fediverse and Nostr will become tendril networks (see "The Network Revolution" by Jacques Vallee) that will colonize the niches between the commercial platforms. #SocialNetworking #Nostr

Last night the pack of wild boars plowed up our garden again. Luckily we hadn't put in too much work after the last time, it would have been for nothing now. I'm starting to get really annoyed. #Gardening

The new version of #Amethyst is really great.

I should check my nostr feed more often. I've definitely been missing out on that the last few days. #Nostr

Ah, Gemini can now connect to Google Home and the old routines still work. #AI #Gemini #Google

Ah, I've just been offered the update to Android 16.

Using the Obsidian Vault as a source for NotebookLM clearly takes Niklas Luhmann's concept of the note box as a conversation partner to a new level. #pkm #AI #NotebookLM

In #MobLand, Harry Da Souza is clearly the most interesting character.

The French digital minister told Politico that, alongside Reddit and BlueSky, the French government is considering classifying #Mastodon as a porn platform. The consequence would be an obligation for France to apply new rules on digital #age controls. Reasoning: the sites allow the sharing of pornographic content. If the French government goes through with this, it would be a potential killer for the #Fediverse. #France

Ah, next week is another long weekend, public holiday + bridge day, very nice.

For many people, their reality seems to be constructed by social media. But this is an old problem, although it is exacerbated by social media. Niklas #Luhmann already wrote: "The reality of the mass media": "What we know about our society, indeed about the world we live in, we know through the mass media". #SocialMedia

It's interesting to see the differences I now make in the use of Nostr and the Fediverse. In the Fediverse, I follow accounts that mainly post on topics that interest me. Since the distribution of hashtags is much better in Nostr, I prefer to follow these here. #Nostr #Fediverse

Interessant, auf der diesjährigen Re:Publica wird ein Projekt ForestGuard vorgestellt, das auf Basis einer Blockchain die Lieferkette für Kaffee protokolliert. #Republica25

Hi, I am new to Nostr and use Amerhyst. I noticed the menu item "Broadcast" in the context menu of a note. Am I right in assuming that this distributes this note to the relays that have been set up?

Just discovered #asknostr. Very interesting web client with lots of exciting topics and discussions.

My fingers are too nervous for the touchscreen these days. I'm constantly hitting two buttons at the same time. 😟

Oh, the 3rd season of #SkyMed is available on Paramount+, cool #Series
